Pink Floyd - Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2) 8 Vs 8 Dexys Midnight Runners - Come On Eileen (Floyd progress conceding 16-21 in previous rounds)
Tiffany - I Think We're Alone Now 7 Vs 9 U2 - I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For

So with the last of the pop acts downed, we are left with 4 Rock acts in the last 4.

See you all later for the SF.

Thanks all

U2 on the first semi, the only remaining song I can really get behind being the greatest

Abstain on the second semi, not a fan of either of the songs

Radio Ga Ga not even in Queen's top ten songs let alone the best number one of a decade. Survivor ftw
